Some good work today although all of you need to work on your general knowledge, especially about British culture such as Shakespeare. The real thing to consider from todays lesson is how a text is a product of the society that makes it. Through the choices that have been made in order to create the texts the concerns of the time are reflected in the text i.e. people are having a tough time at the moment so there are lots of texts reflecting this negative outlook like The Walking Dead, Revolution, Oblivion etc. Just as these reflect the concerns of now so the two historical texts above would reflect the society that made them. Now texts can also be read - through the encoding and decoding process - differently at different points on time; a modern audience may not see the dame things that the maker of a text intended 100 years after the fact.
